The acceleration of AI in talent acquisition has sparked both excitement and concern across the industry. While many fear automation might make recruiting more mechanical and impersonal, what if the opposite were true? Traditional recruiting processes already force candidates and recruiters into transactional relationships - with endless applications, screening calls, and administrative tasks leaving little room for meaningful human connection. At the same time, increasing expectations for personalized experiences are putting pressure on talent teams who don't have enough hours in the day. So, can AI actually make hiring more human rather than less? My guest this week is Diana Tsai, Co-founder and CEO of Upwage, a company building AI interviewing agents that have been proven to reduce turnover by as much as 48%. Diana shares valuable insights from working with employers to deploy over 4,000 AI agents. We also discuss her recently published book "AI For Good", which maps out a positive vision for the future of recruiting where AI doesn't replace human connection but creates space for it to flourish. In the interview, we discuss: Why Diana wrote a book about the positive future of AI in recruiting How the role of recruiters is evolving with AI empowerment Where will the data come from to power advanced AI talent systems? How to ensure AI reduces bias rather than amplifying it The human-AI balance and what AI will never replace Key signals that indicate the transformation of recruiting is accelerating What will recruiting look like in 2035?

Artificial intelligence, quantum computing and satellites have the potential to exponentially improve our capability to monitor and predict the impacts of climate change on our environment.As floods and natural disasters hit Nepal and other countries this summer, in this episode of the On Thin Ice podcast we look at how new technologies and other proven methods can help stay safe in the mountains and in the great outdoors. Host Paolo Bosonin speaks with Laura Kottlowski, professional ice skater and influencer with tens of millions of viewers on TikTok and Instagram, and Tenzing Chogyal Sherpa, glaciologist at ICIMOD.Laura Kottlowski shares her insights from years of studying frozen lakes around the world, and explains how her discipline is having to adapt to the loss of ice around the world, where many natural ice rinks are quickly disappearing.Tenzing Chogyal Sherpa, who has been closely watching the evolution of glaciers around Mount Everest and other parts of the Himalayas, breaks down some of the dangers faced by local populations: with melting glaciers, there are more and more lakes that could outburst and cause massive damage to villages and people living downstream.But Tenzing, Laura and other scientists say artificial intelligence and machine learning can scale up their ability to process satellite images and other data, allowing for a better understanding of the consequences of higher temperatures on our world's ice - and on the communities whose lives depend on it.So can AI help us mitigate the risks brought by climate change?

In this episode of the Devex Book Club podcast, President and Editor-in-Chief Raj Kumar sits down with Microsoft's Juan M. Lavista Ferres to talk about how he got his start with computer science, what AI can do (and what it can't), and how Beluga whales can help detect war crimes in Syria.
Juan M. Lavista Ferres got his start with AI for good in an unlikely way: He really didn't want to go hiking. While working at Microsoft running randomized control experiments, Ferres had a colleague who was raising money for research on sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS, to which he had lost a child. The campaign involved climbing the Kilimanjaro mountain — decidedly a no-go for Ferres. Ferres didn't want to climb a mountain, but he did want to contribute to his friend's cause. So rather than lacing up his hiking boots, he got together with a group of colleagues to analyze the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's cohort-linked birth/infant death dataset, an open-source dataset that's logged tens of thousands of SIDS cases in the United States. Using machine learning models, Ferres and his colleagues were able to manipulate the vast amount of data in ways that had never been done before, revealing new links between risk factors in infants and SIDS. It was through this effort that Ferres realized how powerful artificial intelligence could be for solving some of the world's most intractable problems. For many of us, AI means asking ChatGPT for recipe suggestions or, more darkly, ruminating on the possibility that the machines will soon eclipse human intelligence. But “AI for Good,” both the name of Ferres's book and the lab he directs at Microsoft, demonstrate the enormous power of AI to improve the world as we know it. In this episode of the Devex Book Club podcast, President and Editor-in-Chief Raj Kumar sits down with Ferres to talk about how he got his start with computer science, what AI can do (and what it can't), and how beluga whales can help detect war crimes in Syria.
